    So the flagellant loved pain SO MUCH that he staved off death so he could keep feeling pain, to the point not even death's avatar herself can claim his life? This guys is more eldritch than the creatures he fight itself

      He doesn't win the fight every time, but a lot more than any other character. Plus, he can really only do this because A: he is a living Rasputin and B: because human greed is extremely powerful. Eldritch creatures are driven by instinct (or mind controlled instinct(or evilness?)) meanwhile a person can be driven by burning pure desire and a greed to do whatever it takes to get what they want.

    Interesting that, with this, we have a complete picture of every single religious character and how much they differ...
    -the Crusader, whose zealotry for the faith hollowed him out, leaving him unable to deal with what his devotion made him do, forcing him to remain in the order.
    -The Vestal, forced in her role, sinning despite her vows, but finally able to see the light after the darkness, now a staunch, true but grim believer.
    -The Leper, a humble man whose religiosity was true and genuine, a good man believing in a good religion, still walking the path of righteousness despite all his hardships.
    -the Flagellant, a man whose faith was void and false, as it was simply a mean to get his true desire, pain, either to give and especially to take.
    All in all, i am surprised how diverse they all come out.

    • @fahholliday5374
      @fahholliday5374 ปีที่แล้ว +153

      The Light was ok with the Vestal sinning, it is why it saved her from the Flagellant in his torture chamber, while the priesthood murdered her sisters in cold blood for her "mistake." God in the Darkest Dungeon universe doesn't care about petty "sins" but rather that you remain virtuous, kind, and compassionate, and indeed, the ending of the game shows the Vestal with an obscured lover as opposed to stuck in a priestly role.

    He is alone in the darkness. Only the Toxic Green of his rotting biles glows from him.
    Could this mean he is the most "evil" of our Heroes ? Did the Light abandon him in turn ?

    imagine if instead of just straight deathblow for flag, everytime he fails a deathblow check other than death, he becomes unusable for the rest of the fight, but after the fight it guarantees a spawn of death herself where the whole party can fight her for a chance that he doesnt die.

      i suppose the way you can think about the backstory fights is they are the representation of defining moments for the characters life. for the flagellent, the moment with the vestal was not defining for him as it was for her. for him, the truely defining moment of his life was fighting off death itself and thus becoming immortal/eternal.
      Flagellent: the day you graced and escaped my torture chamber was the most important day of your life...but for me it was...tuesday.

      Other complaint would be the reusing of assets for dungeons. Other than that, story, characters, all of it was amazing. Not Origins level good, but still good.

He wants to suffer, as you say, but to suffer the most, he coats his sado-maso tendencies in a religious paint, flagellating himself. As the narrator say at the end, the flagellant prostrate itself to whatever god will allow him to suffer again, so it doesn't natter which God he "worship", what matter is the pain.
